This shop is packed full of all different sort of candies and dessert items. The interior resembles most of the other shops in Main Street U.S.A. Presentation of the merchandise is great and makes one want to buy a lot of things. The prices however, don't. Still a great place for window shopping or a splurge.
We used to shop AND buy at Sid Cahuenga's on all our trips. Sadly, the darling little shop is but a shadow of it's former self. They used to sell movie props, large items and small but those things have slowly been removed, only to be replaced by autographed photos and a few newly made items, similar things that can be found at Hallmark. LOL Nothing wrong with the current merchandise but we so enjoyed purchasing up a small bauble that Judy Garland used to own, or a little ornament off the tree from some famous holiday movie. The place truly used to be a small museum of movie history (although all the items were for sale!) but perhaps more people went to look than to buy. So sad. Old rating: 10 New rating: 7
This is a little jewel tucked in Disney's West End shopping area. The items sold here are bright and creative works of art with mostly mid to high end prices. We've seen everything from one of a kind teapots to handcrafted soaps, blown glass suncatchers to oddly deformed flower vases, from wristwatches to wildlife jewelry. The variety is amazing considering how small the shop is. (and yes, I agree, children are definitely a hazard in this store!) We drop by the shop several times throughout our vacation and have found that the merchandise changes often. One warning though: If you see something you like, don't wait, buy it now. Chances are good it won't be there when you go back! Have fun shopping!
Located next to the Snow White ride, Seven Dwarfs Mining company is the official Snow White shop. It has a large assortment of T-shirts and other Disney merchandise. Grumpy and Dopey seem to be the stars of the theme...
The Pirates of the Carribean shop. This shop takes advantage of the Pirates movies and sells all sorts of stuff related to them. There are also pirate swords, hats, and the sort representing the ride itself. It looks somewhat like a village shop in the Carribean.
This is really the best Christmas shop at WDW. It is similair to but far bigger than the one at MK and has so much more merchandise. The prices are quite steep but some stuff is worth it. This shop is not to be missed if you like Christmas shops and things of the sort.
There are so may sweets of all sorts in here: candy apples, lollipops, candy bars, you name it. It all looks amazing too. Located at Downtown Disney west side, this is perhaps the most tempting candy shop at Disney, if you can afford it...
Smells great inside. It has a huge amount of Disney Christmas decorations all around it and has a holiday feel to it. The prices for a tree ornament are crazy though. It helps to look but not buy most of the time.
The tower shop blends perfectly into the end of the Tower of Terror. It has unique a wide selection of t-shirts of the ride that can't be purchased anywhere else. It also has the movie that goes with the ride (worth checking out, it helps the ride expereince make more sense). Tower shop is a great postride store.
This place is amazing. Divided into seperate sections, each themed differently. It is the king of Disney shops and quite an attraction in itself. It carries most shirts, hats, books, movies, mugs, and everthing else available is the rest of the resort except some exclusive ride shirts. If not into shopping, walking through the shop is enjoying enough by itself. As far as shops go, and there are so many, this one is the best. Check it out!
Basically a part of the ride, Pooh's thotful shop is full of Pooh related items and theming. Some souveniers are located in "Hunny pots." The place is pretty small though.
After getting off Rock'n' Rollercoaster, you run straight into the shop. The lighting somewhat resembles a rock concert and the merchandise is quite unique. Rock'n'Rollercoaster t-shirts are for sale along with other memorabilia for the ride. One of the greatest rides has one of the better gift shops. Oh yeah, most of the stuff is exclusive to the shop.
Of all the souveniers that Disney has to offer, this shop focuses on the toys and games, and plenty it has. There are numerous sections to it and the shop carries everything to board games to lightsabers. The selection is almost unmatched. The outside theming and surrounding area is impressive as well.
A pet shop at Disney. Doesn't make much sense, nor do the prices, but it's kind of a fun place to walk through while strolling around Downtown Disney. Inside, it looks a very much like most other stores on the strip it's on...
In Dinoland U.S.A. it is one of the largest gift shops and packed with all kinds of dinosaur toys. There is not a lot of other merchendise though.
Located in Adventureland Bwana Bob's is a small cart that sells trinkets such as hats and pins, probably other things as well. It has one of the best names of all the shops :-)
The "Athletic club" is centered around a great subject, sports. It has a large variety of Disney and professional sprts gear. The connection to ESPN shows very strongly throughout the store. Sportscenter is even played on TV screens. The jersey prices are painfull though...
After exiting Splash Mountain and seeing the ride photos, the Briar Patch is the next thing that you will go through. It's the only place to purchase ride pictures from Splash Mountain and it has a variety of SM t-shirts and other merchandise. The shop looks a lot like the waiting of the ride.
Two levels make the Virgin megastore. It is possibly the biggest shop at Disney. The megastore probably has any cd or music you could ever want. It has a huge selction of electronics with pretty average prices.
It actually looks like the planet Tatooine on the inside and out. The shop has almost any type of Star Wars merch you can imagine but at quite a price for the most part. The shop is almost as good as the ride.
The shop has T-shirts and animal toys of all sorts including some of the better priced goods in Disney. There is a glow in the dark room full of interesting stuff. It's definatley feels exotic. The place even has animals that move and growl at guests. The talking tree can get a bit annoying though...
The best shop in tomorrowland, Mickey's Star Traders has a great selection of almost any merchandise sold ar Disney. It carries the Tomorrowland theme many of the land's attraction souveniers. The pricing is pretty close to any other shop at WDW. It is fun to see the TTA go through the high window too.
The giant LEGO figures are impressive and fun to look at. The store itself has a gigantic amount of LEGO memoribillia and sets. It is a great place for kids as well because of the play areas.
The store is decked out in all kinds of cheap-but-fun toys. Of course, Disney doesn't do anything cheap so you aren't allowed to buy them. Go to Downtown Disney Marketplace for any of the stuff you can get here. However, the air conditioning is welcomed.
Nothing special, but you can get your overpriced groceries here if you don't have a car to go to Publix with. They also have some cute glassware. The staff is usually very curteous.
Get your sunglasses here and start a tradition - that's why I love this place: because that's what my family has done for five years now. They also have Toy Story toys that you can't get anywhere else in the main theme parks.
this is the best store to go to in disney! its hard to leave that store without buying somethin! it has so many disney souvenieres to choose from that its hard to even choose! go to this store!
I love the Official Epcot DvD. I hope they can make more like that.
I highly recommend this, it's chock full of fun and random facts about the attractions and the history behind each attraction as well as gives a small glimpse f the imagineering process. Super cool, definitely a good read!!!
I have Fantasmic CD. I played lastnight. I love IT
This store has tons of disney merchandise from postcards to jewlery. It also has the grocery store area for anything you forget at home. Its a nice place to go into as you stroll down the boardwalk to buy a postcard.
The Field guide series are great. Lots of interesting facts and info. A must buy for any WDW park fan. My only wish is that they were a bit bigger!
This book, published in `96, really covers the heyday of TWDC architecture. Lot`s of indepth reading, photographs (colour and black and white) and concept art. You should note though it dosn`t just cover the parks; though they make up a good deal of the book there is a much welcome focus on resort design (the Crescent Lake resorts take up quite a few pages) and the corporate buildings too - all the Team Disney buildings, Burbanks Animation building, Orlandos Casting Center and the like. Inside and out, during and after construction. There`s a large section on the Paris resort too - again, not just Disneyland Parc, but the resort as a whole. If the companies architecture interests you, this is a must get. Don`t expect lots of photos of the Utilidors or find out the Haunted Mansions layout though.
If you are at all interested in the history of WDW, concepts, and backstage this is one book you should have. Though it touches briefly on DLC, the main focus is Florida. From early concepts and layouts (yes, including the Venitian, Persian, Space Port etc.) through park construction and opening it`s all here. Jump to the mid 70`s, with all the original plans for E.P.C.O.T., then the (infamous) split location park, and follow through to the Studios and resorts. DAK was in planning during writing, including Beastly Kingdomme. Full colour photos, models, concept art and plans make this one book you have to own. My only complaint is that it isn`t longer!
